REVIEW: Poncili Creación whips up psychedelic whimsy at Montreal’s Ateliers Belleville
Did the show deliver on its promise of “a wordless conversation about the power of creativity”? It is a conversation in the Kuleshovian sense: two performances in sequence. While I would have loved to see material collaboration between these two original acts, their mere juxtaposition made a compelling case for psychedelia’s eclecticism. Untethered from the logic of dialogue or expectation of a logical resolution, the evening privileged collective amusement.
